"Microsoft on Thursday detailed some of the new features in its forthcoming Office for Mac 2011 suite, including co-authoring tools, Web apps, and a redesigned ribbon interface more consistent with its Windows counterpart. Microsoft is a part of Macworld 2010 expo in San Francisco this week, and has used the event to divulge details on its forthcoming update to Office for Mac, expected to arrive later this year."

I wish they had left the standard toolbar, or the menus especially. I like the ribbon interface, I just don't like that it's the /only/ interface. It makes it impossible to find things that I know are there. You have to dig through layers of dialogs and the appropriate right click menus to get to them. I was never really well-acquainted with the old MS Word, so it's not like I'm just complaining about things being different.
